PER CURIAM.
AFFIRMED. See Fla. R. App. P. 9.315(a). In an opinion disposing of Appellant’s last postconviction appeal, the Court warned Appellant that future frivolous pro se filings “may result in the imposition of sanctions, including a prohibition against any further pro se filings in this Court and a referral to the appropriate institution for disciplinary procedures.” Arons v. State, 298 So. 3d 130 (Fla. 1st DCA 2020). We conclude this appeal is frivolous. Appellant’s repetitious, frivolous filings have become an abuse of the legal process. Accordingly, Appellant is now barred from future pro se filings in this Court related to Leon County Circuit Court case number 15-CF-1174. This includes any post-disposition motion filed in this case. The Clerk of this Court is directed not to accept any future filings concerning Leon County Circuit Court case number 15-CF-1174 unless they are filed by a member in good standing of the Florida Bar. The Clerk of this Court is also directed to forward a certified copy of this Opinion to the facility in which Appellant is incarcerated, for imposition of any disciplinary action that may be considered appropriate. See §§ 944.279, 944.28, Fla. Stat. LEWIS, OSTERHAUS, and KELSEY, JJ., concur. _____________________________
